Islamist apologists have so many excuses for why Muhammad consummated his marriage to a 9 year old girl. They say "it was common to marry young in those days". But that is only a half-truth. It was more common for 14-15 year old boys to have arranged marriages with 12 year old girls. However, it has not been common in ANY culture, ANYWHERE on the planet for a man in his mid-50's to take a 6 year old wife and rape her at age 9 while she's still playing with her dolls and has no idea what sex is.
In the event Aisha had started her menses at this young age, this still would not excuse the disgusting behavior of a 54 year old man who would be in jail if he lived in modern times.
Other arguments that Aisha was much older or over 18 have all been thoroughly debunked.
How can this disgusting behavior be tolerated? What does this mean for the validity of Islam and Mohammed's repackaged pagan moon god "Allah" ?

-- nothing I've stated is a misconception. Muhammad created Islam. It did not exist on this planet before him.

-->Yes I addressed this issue. If for some reason her BODY was maturing at a young age, she is still a NINE year old. HELLO! Would you let a 54 year old man have sex with YOUR nine your old ?? The muslim texts tell us that she was playing with dolls when Muhammad invaded her innocent body

Because they are only tolerant of themselves, their beliefs and their culture, tradition and their ways, not matter what they say. Marrying young girls is not only and perverted and backwards, it is sick. Also, the whole Muslim idea of women being less than men and being treated like s*it and being abused by their husbands/fathers/brothers is sick and absurd.

Muhammad (PBUH) did not invent anything. You are commenting on a different time, place and circumstance. All of Muhammad's wives where different ages and he was told to marry for different reasons. Who are you to tell God he is wrong. His first wife Khadijah was considerably older than him, whats your point? Just 2 generations ago my husbands grandmother married at 12, this was the culture and tradition of the people. I think you will find all religions all over the world girls married at a very young age. If the answers from Muslims don't suit you, tuff luck. We do not need to defend Muhammad and his life to you or anyone else. And a 9 year old girl in the time of the prophet is not like a 9 year old girl of today. They lived hard lives, working, cooking and looking after family members, not playing with barbie dolls and watching sponge bob. Pagan moon God LOL your ignorance is staggering.

Yes she is 9 years .
I'll answer your question as follow:
1) This girl you are talking about is the mother of all Muslims and the only virgin wife of prophet MOHAMMAD PB UH. and the others were widows, or divorced and all were old.
So, do you believe a person in his position in the community to accept that ?? and if he as you mentioned why he would do it at his late 40's and he was perfect at his youth and the active years??? and do you think that the Pagans at that time would hide something if they knew it about him???
In stead at early Prophecy they ask to chosse any lady and they will give her to him and ask about any wealth he wants and they will submitted to him or if he want to be their leader and President so, he can be given that !
So, is it logical to refusse all that live poor and traced to be killed by the whole communities and tribes???
So, going back to Our Mother Aisha
2) She was engaged to somebody else other than the prophet PB UH prior to the spread of Islam, and the non-Muslim guy who was engaged to her didn't want to marry her because she is Muslim.
3) It was well known and acceptable to the people at that time of such marriage.
4) No body of the NON -Muslim population has condemned this action or otherwise it will be a Major defect in the prophet's history and they would attack him in poems which was the CNN / Aljazeera media at that time!!!!
5) I have been told by a friend that such an action was to a recent time present in India and Europe

It is true that Muhammad married Aishah when she was 9 but at that time she already have her period that mean she is already developing.. she is also smart.. By marrying Muhammad, she recorded Muhammad behavior.. note that Muhammad is an example for all Muslim. After Aishah married Muhammad, she can record things that other people don't see inside Mohammad's house..
things happen for a reason

My friend, Aisha, was the daughter of Abu Bakr, (the first Caliph, the pious man whos leadership help Islam spread very fast, very quickly). He gave his daughter in marriage to the Prophet, since it was an honour for him. You have to realize this was not his only wife, nor his first...
His first wife was Khadija, a 40 year widowed women, whom he married when he was 25.
Have you read the Qu'ran? My challenge to you read the first 3 pages.
We know he would not have had intercourse with her until she had her first menses, and when that was. Only God knows.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_k62TYdR10g
watch this short clip about a white english man
As for you moon idea, it says clearly in the Qu'ran
041:037] And from among His Signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Prostrate yourselves not to the sun nor to the moon, but prostrate yourselves to Allâh Who created them, if you (really) worship Him.
Allah is the arabic word for God
Dios is the spanish word for God
We pray to whom (if you are Christian) the Holy Father. So please don't be so ignorant, and read the Qu'ran I dare you too. Not just 4 verses out of 6666, but the first 3 pages.

I am a Moslem I hope I will try and succeed in answering your question to your satisfaction. But first of all, I would plead not to use filthy language in lieu of anyone who is a Prophet of God(Allah). If you despise them before getting to the conclusions then your querying is pointless.
You are very right that he married a 9 year old girl and, to put the record correct, as there are many misapprehensions about the age of Aisha when she was submitted to Mohammed(PBUH)'s house, she was 12 at that time not 9 and marriage took place when she was 9 not 6.
First of all, Mohammed(PBUH) had had married already more than a couple of times so sex was not the aim. To further consolidate the proof is in Aisha's own words: Mohammed(PBUH) never saw me undressed neither did I, him. In Arabs, it was customary to honor sons-in-laws, let alone any venture at their lives. Since Mohammed(PBUH) was in great danger and Abu Bakar , father of Aisha, and the closest friend to Holy Prophet sensed that his own tribe Banu Bakar was very intent on Mohammed(PBUH)'s life, he arranged this marriage barricading the way for his tribe to make any venture at Holy Prophet's life, and it proved very right and wise afterwards, because after this marriage took place in Mecca Banu Bakar declared Mohammed(PBUH) as their son-in-law and refrained from participating in any attempts at his life. Then in Medina, when he was 54 years old he went ahead in bringing Aisha to his home thinking and planning that she would be a sure guide for young Moslem Women when he would not be among his followers. In males he had many companions who were able to publish his teachings, but because of strict rules of veil(Purdah) he had only his wives to relay his teachings to younger females of Moslem community. And you can rectify it openly from Moslem Literature. Furthermore, he had all his kids from only two wives, so you can't blame his sexual prowess being behind multiple marriages.
He was not an inventor of Islam nor the Holy Book nor the God Almighty. It is the same Worshipped Power whom you call God and we call Allah. Allah is not someOne other than God. Bible and Koran are Holy Books, true sayings of God Almighty, descended toward their Prophets, Christ and Mohammed(Peace Be Upon Them).
I hope to dear God that I was honest and sufficient in answering to your question and that this answers all the questions regarding the issue. As of believing or not believing only God can guide us to true and right conclusions, as we have not been present when Bible was descended nor when Koran was. We only know that since We believe in Koran and Koran says that Bible is true book of God, we believe in it, and as God Almighty says in Koran that Bible was meddled with by Christians of that time, we believe in that too. So only Koran is the one source of finding the truth...and we believe in it.
Even Bible getting amended does not mean that we can put slight in Christ's honor in any way, he(PBUH) is a true prophet of God which was ascended to heavens alive by angels and nobody could have crossed him.
May Allah Show You The Light of Truth and Put Some Respect in You, because you only dont know what you are talking about.
